Visitors encounter dozens of trained actors, elaborate costumes, movie-quality sets, and concert-level sound across three immersive haunted attractions: Shadow Pines, Dearly Departed, and Oddballs. Guests navigate a creature-infested campground, a sinister funeral home, and a chaotic circus runaway. The facility also features midway selfie stations, professional photo ops, a horror retail store, and themed carnival food and desserts.
